“stop showing me the horrors” stop supporting the horrors. stop lending credence to the people doing the horrors. stop trying to block out the horrors. stop trying to unfocus your brain from the horrors because it’s no longer in your interest to face them. you do not get a second of peace. you want to forget this is happening. you will not be allowed to forget. you do not get that privilege when you are an active launderer of monsters.
you will either develop empathy for the victims and indignity towards the machine or you will be made to feel guilty for your abettance of it with the last shreds of empathy you have. if you are ever, ever made ignorant of what exactly you are supporting, it is imperative that you are fucking Ludovico’d with the consequences of your ideology until your cognitive dissonance is hammered away and you fall with a side that exists in reality, you mealy-mouthed fence-sitting war-criminal-hosting spineless piece of shit.
This is why Come And See is one of those movies that not even the most hoggish of treat hogs seem able to oink at: it rubs their face in it. It says “THIS is what your ideology is going to do every time it’s allowed to fester.”
That movie is probably the easiest way to dispel the notion of the “clean Wehrmacht,” Germans were just following orders, or Germans didn’t know about the Holocaust. The entire country actively participated and often received letters from family/friends bragging about war crimes.
The ending where they get that SS soldier and he tries to convince them they deserve eradication was based on real interviews with Nazis.
